Problems with ID

Hi. I have some problems with my ID. My sister gave me her old iPhone and now she had a new iPhone. I had my Apple ID on the old phone but we have syncing our contacts. My contacts automatically sync to the new iPhone. That’s the problem.

Please, help me to solve this problem.

Best regards

iPhone 6s, iOS 14

Apple ID My husband and I use the same Apple ID for our individual cell phones - that has caused problems with our contacts as we both have a combined phonebook of his contacts and my contacts. Nothing seems to delete and we get duplicates all the time. At this point, can one of us get a new Apple ID and would it solve our issues - I just purchased a new phone and I have not started it yet - thanks for your help !

My sister is using my old phone, but for some reason our contacts are synced So about a week ago, my sister received my old iPhone 6s because I got a newer one with more storage. And she had just broken her own phone, the one she had prior to receiving mine. On her SIM card she had saved all of her contacts, and before importing them she had logged in with her own Apple-ID and then imported them. But for some reason, my Apple-ID changed name to her's, and I got all of her contacts added to mine. Then I deleted the contacts that were added, and changed the name on my Apple-ID back to my actual name. But for some reason the same changes were applied to her phone. Now I'm not sure what is going on, I've tried telling her to log out in settings, log back in with her own Apple-ID and then import the contacts again, but now for some reason the contacts won't be imported from the SIM card. She still doesn't have her contacts, and our accounts still seem to be somehow synced, since whenever we change the name of our own contact, it changes the other's as well. I can't think of any solution to this, since I've never experienced something like this with my phone anymore, but I really hope someone can help.

Are you sharing an Apple ID? Ask your sister to do the steps in the article below to make the phone 'your' phone.
